Like everything by Augustine, this text is sublime. It contains the seeds of modern semiotics, just for starters. Augustine is a genius, and everyone should read everything he wrote, because it’s seminal to Western civilization. I listened to this in the Audible recording, and the performance is excellent. Highly recommended.

Augustine was able to put the Bible into practical terms so we can apply it to our lives.

St. Augustine was one of the best early teachers.

The book can be very boring for those who are not doing theology or church history, for academic purpose, however, the book is still worth collecting and listening to.

Dear Audible, Augustine wrote in Latin. Translations abound. Product Details matter. Bibliographies matter. (Especially with the Classics.) *Please* provide information about the actual book.

Yes, Augustine wrote it but *which edition* is this recording from? Translator? Publisher? Editor? Abridged, Unabridged? A website for a media company doesn't qualify as a Product Detail(s). It details nothing except how much Audible sucks.

I wish I had time to scour the library, pull all translations of Augustine, compare the text with this audiobook and determine which one it is. (Again, Bibliographies matter.)

FWIW, the translation sounds very accessible for listeners of leisure. Any book read by Simon Vance is lovely. Scholars and Students, be advised the translation may not be one for academic purposes. Love to all you classics nerds! *gidgie

Translation? Translator? Book Deets!
